PS Vita wifi is selling on amazon for $220. What’s the import duty 20%? It would still come around 12-13. Who is the getthing the extra 6k?

the price is correct, have you used it?it’s f***in’ awesome. the augmented reality gaming to the screen quality and the launch games , everything’s great.honestly, i didnt expect it would this good.buy the ps vita and then say if it is costly or value for money.when one can buy a piece of crap like ps3 for 17000 then ps vita is not at all costly.

Ouch, harsh words towards the Playstation brands, but it is true that their products are a bit pricier than others. Seems even steeper in your region.

In reply to ME. The memory cards and games are almost the same as UK/Europe prices, which is very India gets PS Vitas from. In some cases the games actually cost lesser in India.

In reply to ME. Yeah, but you're forgetting the game prices and memory card prices, which totally drive up the cost and for an Indian market, that's just not feasible.

Wow. Stop your bitching. 19900 Rs converted into USD is about $400. Meaning they’re paying about $100 more for the machine which I wholeheartedly believe is because of duties and taxes placed on the machine. Shipping goods to North America is a lot less costly in this regard and thus you see a smaller price point.

Bitching about the world’s economy won’t get you anywhere.
